AMOUAGE Imitation Woman Pierre Negrin 2018 Unisex imo “Life Imitates art” Like this fascinating bottle the scent itself as well is neon colored and a chameleon. It sounds strange but after smelling the scent the term makes sense. First of all the scent is very unique and different than all other Amouages. Secondly the combination of notes is very interesting. White ORANGE BLOSSOM, JASMINE and ROSES in the opening are surrounded with captivating mix of BLACK CURRANT BUDS which is not juicy (it’s not the fruit itself, it’s buds!), ALDEHYDES which is not soapy or frosted, and LICORICE which is not sweet neither Anis. YLANG-YLANG in the opening is not tropical like sweet or sour. Nothing in this scent can’t be imagined with the list of notes. It’s one of the most difficult to put into the words. All the notes are somewhat abstract and something which you haven’t experienced before. The result is vivid, a little bit vinyl like but not synthetic, nor cloying. It’s very enchanting, it’s airy enough yet vibrant without being sticky or headache-inducing. After wearing it a couple of times you will notice that it’s astoundingly wearable, versatile and charming yet totally unique. The drydown is heavenly and polished , even intoxicating, with SANDALWOOD, PATCHOULI and INSENCE while all the other notes stay there until the end creating this magical concoction. This scent is called here Chypre Floral which it is not. I don’t know why so many scents are called as “Chypre” nowadays without its characteristic note pyramid. Men’s counterpart is not for me. It’s very artistic but too plastic imo. Definitely worth to try though. Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
I didn't think I could love an Amouage more than I love Interlude Man, but this is it for me. Imitation Woman is spectacular. I normally can't stand blackcurrant in any guise in perfume, but this is some sort of addictive magic. And, it has distinct stages (three or four I reckon), all of which are as beautiful as each other. Stage one - floral psychadelia with minty blackcurrant Stage two - blackcurrant buds come to the fore with aldehydes and church incense wisping in and out Stage three - warm resinous incense with the sweetness of the initial florals coming back as a garnish Stage four - incense embers and smooth woods Incredible! Side note: this being for sale on Amouage website doesn't mean it's not being discontinued, they have to sell the remaining stock. They seem to be getting rid of all but the best selling perfumes from the Chris Chong era to focus on crowd-pleasers and expensive flankers. I'd say get this while it's there, as it is too weird and artistic to be retained by Monsieur Salmon with his anodyne commercial vision.
